While the administration publicly expresses full confidence in its health care law, privately it fears one part of the system is so flawed it could bankrupt insurance companies and cripple ObamaCare itself.
"Week after week, month after month," says John Goodman of the National Center for Policy Analysis, "the Obama administration kept telling us everything's working fine, there's no problem and then they turn on a dime and fire their contractor."
To justify a no-bid contract with Accenture after firing CGI as the lead contractor, the administration released documents from the Department of Health and Human Services and the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services that offered a rare glimpse of its worst fears, saying the problems with the website puts "the entire health insurance industry at risk" ... "potentially leading to their default and disrupting continued services and coverage to consumers."
Then it went even further, saying if the problems were not fixed by mid-March, "they will result in financial harm to the government."
It even added that without the fixes "the entire health care reform program is jeopardized."
In spite of the "urgent" need officials cited to keep the system from collapsing, the White House spokesman said he knew nothing about it.

The back end still hasn't been built, so insurers are dealing with massive confusion ... there's no way to effectively match policies and people ... no way to calculate federal subsidies ... big problems in terms of just the mechanics of making payments.
“Administration fears part of health care system so flawed it could bankrupt insurance companies”
Fixed it.
Administration plan of health care system so flawed it will bankrupt insurance companies setting stage for government take-over.
Guess we’ll just have to move on to a single payer system... you’d almost think it was designed this way...
beat me by 10 seconds.
I went with exposure rather than size or embellishments.
“Administration fears part of health care system so flawed it could bankrupt insurance companies”
Hell, I thought that was the idea all along.
There... fixed it.
This POS was never about “reform”
Insurance companies need to be working up, in the background if nowhere else,
plans to offer to people that they actually want and fit their needs,
regardless of the requirements or mandates of Obamacare.
People should just buy the plans they want, ignore Obama, his mandates, and the fines.
“Then it went even further, saying if the problems were not fixed by mid-March, “they will result in financial harm to the government.”
I guess 17 trillion in debt doesn’t warrant any concern.
You may have something there. Mass non-compliance may be the only option now.
Obamacare was designed and intended to be so terrible that the sheeple would quickly beg for socialized medicine.
Say goodbye to the best medical care the world has ever known. Say hello to Canadian style socialized healthcare.
Perfect fix.
One wonders why media plays this Trojan Horse as flawed, incomplete, incompetent, inept, unfinished, etc., etc.
Pretty slick charade if you ask me.
